**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 22 02:59:59 2014 Jan 22 03:13:47 hmm, i set the imeActionLabel, but this doens't appear to be reflected in the keyboard Jan 22 03:17:36 figured it out, i had to set an inputtype for it to work Jan 22 03:45:06 installed haxm and the atom image, but when I try to create a new AVD the cpu always goes to ARM and is grayed out Jan 22 03:45:59 the atom image directory is right there next to the arm one Jan 22 03:48:02 I just have api level 19 Jan 22 03:48:12 so by default, it seems like my edittext will hide if i press the enter action Jan 22 03:48:21 is there some way to stop the keyboard from hiding Jan 22 03:51:17 nevermind, restarted eclipse Jan 22 03:53:00 nice. faster Jan 22 03:57:30 so i have eclipse helios, is there any reason to update? Jan 22 03:57:59 did a new eclipse come out ? Jan 22 03:58:35 Kepler? Jan 22 03:59:40 the ADT uses 3.7 workbench apis, doesn't matter much Jan 22 03:59:45 kepler has been out for quite a long time Jan 22 04:00:01 i thought 3.8.1 was the best eclipse ;) Jan 22 04:00:06 my eclipse probably is ancient Jan 22 04:00:06 same version I used in college lol Jan 22 04:01:08 I use 3.7.1 Jan 22 04:01:08 bit more up to date than college one but still bit old lol Jan 22 04:01:23 numeral: Yeah, I meant 'isn't it still kepler?' :) Jan 22 04:01:49 Node: yeah that makes much more sense Jan 22 04:10:57 huh, when I inflate a layout, shouldn't layout params be immediately available? Jan 22 04:11:12 or do they only apply if I specify a parent container... Jan 22 04:16:36 pfn: does this help? http://www.doubleencore.com/2013/05/layout-inflation-as-intended/ Jan 22 04:17:33 anyway, layoutparams are only populated if specifying a parent to inflate Jan 22 04:18:56 kinda sounds familiar Jan 22 04:23:23 layout params originate from the parent view group's generateDefaultLayoutParams method Jan 22 04:24:30 yeah, figured as much Jan 22 04:26:11 thanks Jan 22 04:29:02 hi, android lint when looking for errors takes forever, restart eclipse did not wake up lint. what i should do to make it work? Jan 22 04:31:29 hoo, lint came back, damn slow Jan 22 04:38:30 dragorn http://blog.cyberexplorer.me/2014/01/sniffing-and-decoding-nrf24l01-and.html Jan 22 04:38:46 g00s: I saw that Jan 22 04:39:38 the downconverter is the magic Jan 22 04:51:51 hello, where i can find code example of a soft back button implementation? Jan 22 04:54:39 what do you mean ? Jan 22 04:55:24 <_genuser_> interesting, google still hasn't processed payment for dev account for play store. Jan 22 04:55:39 bankai_: i have a button working as back to previous list. i need to change its shape. just like a back button has lef arrow head Jan 22 04:55:51 <_genuser_> make payment yesterday morning CST. they charged 1 dollar then reverse. They haven't charged 25 yet. Jan 22 04:57:22 <_genuser_> anybody else have delayed registration? Jan 22 04:57:40 bankai_: how to do that Jan 22 04:59:51 any idea? Jan 22 05:00:27 i still don't know what you're asking, you have a back button on the action bar you want to style ? Jan 22 05:01:40 no, i have a button working as back to listview , but the button is in rectangular shape, i want to change shape of button so it look like soft back button Jan 22 05:01:48 is there nothing I can do to make the ContextMenu that pops up on long press , black background ???? Jan 22 05:02:29 <= like that Jan 22 05:03:12 bankai_: my question is still not clear? Jan 22 05:03:57 :) Jan 22 05:04:10 look like i need to pay google for elp Jan 22 05:04:15 help** Jan 22 05:04:30 jaami-win: so change it, what's the problem ? Jan 22 05:04:39 lol Jan 22 05:04:42 get the image you want, set it, then go Jan 22 05:04:54 i dont know how to change that is why asking you Jan 22 05:05:11 oops, is that so Jan 22 05:05:23 easy as setting background? Jan 22 05:05:26 setBackgroundResource or use an imageview or something Jan 22 05:05:42 err ImageButton* Jan 22 05:05:59 <_genuser_> if you're loading something in action bar, you should be loading it from a menu that gets inflated. Jan 22 05:06:12 ahh okay, there is the tip... thanks a lot. i guess that is what i needed to know Jan 22 05:06:40 <_genuser_> android:icon="@drawable/name_of_your_resource" Jan 22 05:07:00 <_genuser_> when you define your menu, use the attribute above in your menu item tag and load a resource from drawables. Jan 22 05:07:49 _genuser_: those wouldn't work for popup ContextMenu would they ? Jan 22 05:08:18 <_genuser_> shmooz: pop menu? i.e. when you hit the meny button? Jan 22 05:08:22 I know its someone elses answer but I could use setBackgroundResource on ContextMenu if it worked Jan 22 05:08:37 when I long press the popup menu Jan 22 05:09:06 I mean when I long press the list item, the background and text color of the ContextMenu that pops up Jan 22 05:09:14 _genuser_: & bankai_ thanks , i go try that Jan 22 05:09:24 <_genuser_> shmooz: loading an image should work on context menus. I say should, but I don't know, I haven't tried it. Jan 22 05:09:50 otherwise I'll have to make my own custom menu Jan 22 05:09:56 <_genuser_> shmooz: from the documentation it seems to be just a menu that gets inflated in onCreateContextMenu(). Jan 22 05:10:19 _genuser_: yeah that's what I did Jan 22 05:10:31 but it's godawful white background Jan 22 05:10:54 <_genuser_> try android:background="#000000" and see if that changes it. Jan 22 05:10:59 and I tried setting global theme to override too Jan 22 05:11:18 _genuser_: I tried that too, it had no effect Jan 22 05:11:18 <_genuser_> it should. And if it works, you can set a drawable resource, with gradients, blah blah. Jan 22 05:11:38 ok maybe I missed something, I'll try again Jan 22 05:11:41 <_genuser_> I see. then I'm afraid we've reached the end of what I know about context menus. :) Jan 22 05:12:16 same problem with the dropdown spinner, I was able to set the background color from xml, but I couldn't find out how to set the text color Jan 22 05:12:34 so the spinner shows black on black for now Jan 22 05:12:34 <_genuser_> android:textColor="" Jan 22 05:12:51 _genuser_: tried that, didn't work either Jan 22 05:13:31 those properties work for most widgets, but ContextMenu and Spinner, it seems to have no effect Jan 22 05:14:03 <_genuser_> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2944244/change-the-background-color-of-the-options-menu Jan 22 05:14:11 <_genuser_> would seem to indicate it's a long observed problem. Jan 22 05:15:18 _genuser_: thanks for the help, I did see that page before too, but I'll read more carefully to see if I missed something Jan 22 05:15:34 oh well I can always popup a custom menu right Jan 22 05:15:36 <_genuser_> shmooz: somebody mentions android:panelFullBackground below in the response. try that one. Jan 22 05:15:49 _genuser_: ok Jan 22 05:19:23 _genuser_: the problem with that is I won't be able to set the text color to white, but oh well at least I will be able to make it black on gray background if it works Jan 22 05:19:44 anything is better than white Jan 22 05:19:49 <_genuser_> lol, it really is a freak of a problem. Jan 22 05:50:28 what's the problem? Jan 22 05:53:18 Hey Guys, I was looking for introducing automation testing for my mobile app Jan 22 05:53:43 but I find writing test cases difficult as code gets spread across Activities, Services AsyncTasks Jan 22 05:54:15 Is there a good project I could look at, to learn how to do automation testing for an android app Jan 22 06:05:15 ~~~~~/close Jan 22 06:05:55 JakeWharton: the problem is there seems to be no easy way to set background and text colors on the ContextMenu that pops up after long pressing a list item Jan 22 06:07:12 ah, i thought you guys were talking about action bar popups like spinner or overflow Jan 22 06:07:56 well I do have a similar problem on Spinner, I can set background color fine, but couldn't change the text to white Jan 22 06:08:21 the text color is based on the layout you use in the adapter Jan 22 06:08:31 and the context that's used to inflate it Jan 22 07:19:24 hi Jan 22 07:19:30 i am storing something as a blob Jan 22 07:19:40 but what if I have nothing in the byte array? Jan 22 07:19:56 when I pass an object where the byte array is not initialised through an intent, I get a null pointer exception Jan 22 07:20:09 but if I initialise the array, say x = new byte[0]; Jan 22 07:20:45 then how can I tell on the next activity whether the byte array has real data in it (ie. image data) or whether it's just my fake initialisation to avoid the NPE? Jan 22 07:20:56 checking the length seems like a crude way to do it Jan 22 07:21:02 is there a better alternative Jan 22 07:25:36 is there some way to interrupt/prevent a softkeyboard's action from hiding the keyboard Jan 22 08:33:07 can someone tell me his experience on using ant/maven/gradle for android development? i have done a little ant today, but since i'm used to developing JEE projects with maven, it seems like an awful lot of typing and double checking. i know almost nothing about gradle except that it's almost finished and already usable and supposed to be the future of android development (because it's being pushed/developed by google). is it wo Jan 22 08:33:08 rth checking out yet? Jan 22 08:40:42 Yes, use gradle for Android stuff. Although I know nothing about the current state of maven support for Android projects. Jan 22 08:41:01 Is android studio stable? Jan 22 08:41:42 Is it worth switching over from eclipse? Jan 22 08:42:45 I can vouch for AS, but gradle builds Android projects just fine without it. Jan 22 08:43:00 ayushkr19, haven't had any problems with AS, and the switch from Eclipse made me very happy Jan 22 08:44:13 so if you'd start new on a long-run project you'd suggest AS+gradle? Jan 22 08:44:48 <_rm> we're currently using as+gradle at work Jan 22 08:45:11 I'm not using gradle, I just imported my Eclipse project into AS Jan 22 08:45:18 fancy42: Yes. With gradle you can use any ide/editor, so you can use AS if you want, but you do not have do. Gradle is doing the actual buliding. Jan 22 08:52:23 ok, but is AS a huge improvement to ADT? Jan 22 08:53:09 I tried it, but went back to eclipse, but I think that AS has a lot of potential, and is already probably better than eclipse Jan 22 08:54:25 ok. but for build management, gradle is your definite suggestion? Jan 22 08:57:13 Also I am a little confused as how to properly setup my testing project structure. All the SDK-specific tests need to run on the device and I need a testing project for this. But do I put the normal Unit Tests in this test project, too? Jan 22 09:33:15 what is difference between pixel and dot ? Jan 22 09:38:46 You mean dp? Jan 22 09:38:55 pixels are the smallest unit of "measure" on a display and a dot could be 1 pixel(depends on the size of the pixel) or multiple pixels Jan 22 09:43:46 anyone here connect via a bouncer like ZNC? Jan 22 09:55:14 how do i read log files with the new monitor app? Jan 22 09:55:23 ddms just crashes and tells me to use monitor.bat Jan 22 09:55:33 (i haven't done android for a long time:P) Jan 22 10:06:09 my app contains a Tab Category (on the ActionBar) which will load the CategoryFragment right under the Tabs. Now i want to click on the detail button in the CategoryFragment to open the DetailFragment right in place of the view of the CategoryFragment Jan 22 10:06:15 how could I do that ? Jan 22 10:15:28 Hi! When hooking a galaxy samsung s4 (android 4.3) to a MacOSX 10.9 via USB, I get the authorization dialog, and I click on ok, but adb devices still list my device as unauthorized. How comes? Jan 22 10:17:24 working around with Transactions at http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#Transactions and I can load the new fragment Jan 22 10:17:49 but the whole activity lost its state (no actionbar, pager etc) Jan 22 10:19:52 ogamita disconnect usb cable and connect again Jan 22 10:20:24 if dont work i see 3 option Jan 22 10:20:37 did it, several time. It asks again authorization, I give it again. Jan 22 10:20:59 That said, since tcpip was activated from linux box, I can connect via wifi. Jan 22 10:21:01 restart the macbook check if are some software for the specific phone use depuration by wifi Jan 22 10:21:15 Yes, the later works. Jan 22 10:21:52 What's funny, is that I have the same problem when connecting an iPhone to a linux box, it keeps asking for authorization and doesn't register when I give it :-) Jan 22 10:22:21 I guess they check for same vendor, and break it on purpose when it's the competition. Jan 22 10:22:46 dunno :D Jan 22 10:28:06 is it okay to use asynctask in business loci? Jan 22 10:28:45 *logic Jan 22 10:31:06 isn't the best aproach Jan 22 10:31:27 if use asyntask to handler someting in layout Jan 22 10:31:45 it must independent of logic Jan 22 10:31:53 must be* Jan 22 10:34:35 ok Jan 22 10:34:50 this is to make unit tests independent of the android implementation? Jan 22 10:35:14 unit tests should be in an entirely different project Jan 22 10:35:26 ok Jan 22 10:36:03 but my question was aiming at: if i use asynctask in a business component, i can only test this component on the device, and not locally, right? Jan 22 10:36:36 You can run an emulator, or what would be better is if you use some sort of mocking framework Jan 22 10:36:47 Which fakes the responses. Jan 22 10:37:04 We've got three testing projects in relation to the main project that we publish. Jan 22 10:37:31 thanks. Jan 22 10:38:15 One is just JUnit tests on librarys (not android libraries), they run in seconds. Another is automation tests, which run on an emulator, and take forever, but does mean you get UI Testing done. The third is legacy projects using Robolectric. Jan 22 10:45:08 Please, I'm using a lib, based on another lib. here is my console error : http://pastebin.com/aC3iG1XW Do you have any idea ? I'm getting mad... Jan 22 10:48:11 Might have a problem with two different versions of the Android Support library. Jan 22 10:48:12 Ange_blond, it seems you have added the support library to your classpath Jan 22 10:48:27 twice Jan 22 10:48:44 Desarun: thanks i'll keep that in mind setting up the environment Jan 22 10:49:16 fancy42 I'd follow pduin's lead, looks more likely. It's trying to add the same class twice to the same namespace Jan 22 10:49:51 Desarun> pduin > I did not by myself. I have android-support-v4.jar in a lib project, in "libs", but I don't know how to remove, if I should, etc... Jan 22 10:50:55 Ange_blond, check your project structure, check which modules import that library, and check if it's imported multiple times in all of your project Jan 22 10:51:56 pduin> I never added it, so I asusme it cames by itself with my external lib. So maybe I can remove it from each or my projects ? Jan 22 10:52:37 It's worth a try Jan 22 10:55:01 hum, I'm gonna burn this projects and computer, just to be sure ^ Jan 22 10:55:26 pduin> thanks Jan 22 10:55:43 no problem Jan 22 10:56:02 * pduin gives Ange_blond a jerrycan of gasoline Jan 22 10:56:16 :) Jan 22 12:06:31 Does anyone have any idea of this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21280794/error-connectionresultstatuscode-internal-error-resolution-null Jan 22 12:44:59 So.... made some cleanup in the code and libpath. Now starting... and crashing! http://pastebin.com/85cQeAU1 Jan 22 12:45:15 I you have any idea... I offer the coffee ;) Jan 22 13:15:45 <[A3G1S]> hey guys, can any 1 help me with keyboard ?

Jan 22 14:15:10 Hello, Is someone familiar with AndroidQuery lib? Jan 22 14:15:30 I would like to know how to stop image loading/processing? Jan 22 14:15:46 yoavst: you have a null pointer exception in your setContext method> Probably this is happening because android recreates the activity/everything in the activity on a rotation change Jan 22 14:15:56 you'll want to look at the configChanges attribute here Jan 22 14:15:57 Yes, I know it Jan 22 14:15:57 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html Jan 22 14:16:11 I read about it and people don't suggest it Jan 22 14:16:14 and possibly the setRetainINstanceState method in your parent fragment Jan 22 14:16:52 it can cause memory leaks if you aren't careful Jan 22 14:16:52 idk what to put in onConfigurationChanged Jan 22 14:16:55 I'll try setRetainINstanceState on parent fragment. tried on the dialogFragment but it didn't help Jan 22 14:17:25 yoavst: I mean, don't just try things and see what sticks. Read about what these things do and figure out what will be best for you Jan 22 14:19:01 I read about put the asynctask inside a fragment, but i don't think that it will work on my task Jan 22 14:19:13 http://www.androiddesignpatterns.com/2013/04/retaining-objects-across-config-changes.html Jan 22 14:19:54 i wrote this a while back http://blog.callumtaylor.net/handlingasynctasksanddialogfragmentswithorientationchangingjava-android Jan 22 14:20:07 may be of help Jan 22 14:20:42 Good morning all. It's been a few years since I've done any android development and it seems I've done something stupid in my manifest file. I can't get my activity named properly to allow it to launch, where I get a concatenation error because the VM is prepending the package name to the already fully qualified activity name http://pastebin.com/NpnucBJZ What's the proper activity naming syntax within a manifest file to avoid this? Jan 22 14:21:14 Can I define other sourceSets than main and instrumentTest in Android Studio? AS refuse to "see" integrationTest as a sourceSet. Jan 22 14:22:53 CallumTaylor: what is WeakReference? Jan 22 14:23:03 a reference that is weak Jan 22 14:23:24 so what does it give to the refernce? Jan 22 14:23:26 http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ref/WeakReference.html Jan 22 14:23:28 Is there a way to sync only one specific device from AOSP instead of the whole branch? Jan 22 14:23:31 yoavst a WeakReference is a reference to an object that allows itself to be garbage collected Jan 22 14:23:40 so the memory won't leak Jan 22 14:23:53 ok Jan 22 14:24:07 i use it so i don't accidentally leak the fragment context Jan 22 14:26:51 CallumTaylor: doInBackground is null on your exmple but shouldn't be null on my code, right? Jan 22 14:27:18 your async task can do what ever, its irrelevant Jan 22 14:27:34 it returns null because the param is Void Jan 22 14:27:44 ok Jan 22 14:30:19 CallumTaylor: I start the AsyncTask from fragment. What should I do then? TaskHelper.getInstance().addTask("task", t, getActivity()); ? Jan 22 14:30:49 i don't know what it is you're trying to do Jan 22 14:31:29 I use tab navigation, so all the code is in the fragment Jan 22 14:32:25 all my example does is make sure when the asynctask finishes, it has a reference to the fragment when the configuration changes Jan 22 14:33:25 but you start the asynctask from an activty Jan 22 14:33:41 and I need to start it from fragment Jan 22 14:36:41 CallumTaylor? Jan 22 14:36:42 right so you adapt it to work with fragment Jan 22 14:37:06 how? I send the user to Image picker, and then the orientation can changed Jan 22 14:37:13 so getActivity() will be null Jan 22 14:37:20 correct Jan 22 14:37:30 you can only deal with the result once its back Jan 22 14:37:44 you could create a wait so it will wait until something gets re-attached before executing a runnable Jan 22 14:38:01 anyway i'll brb Jan 22 14:38:06 ok Jan 22 14:38:51 What about place the fragment inside the activity Java file, and then call methods that will run on the activity? will it work? Jan 22 14:39:32 hm, is my memory wrong or is New->Activity when right-clicking on a package in project explorer gone in latest android studio? Jan 22 14:41:29 yoavst: you don't want to do that, because then your fragment will have a strong reference to your activity, preventing it from being garbage collected Jan 22 14:43:35 TRomeo: can I make a weak refernce between the fragment and the activty and use the Activity context even if orientation changed? Jan 22 14:46:41 yoavst: maybe. The problem s that you get a brand new activity when you change orientations Jan 22 14:46:58 and also a brand new fragment unless you call setRetainInstanceState(true) Jan 22 14:47:28 so f you started the asynctask before the orientation change, and it has a reference to the original activity, it's not going to work Jan 22 14:47:59 yoavst: the point is, when you orientate, the task gets re-attached to the task helper, so get activity won't be null Jan 22 14:48:00 Is there anyone here using kendoui? Jan 22 14:48:16 it'll only be null in-between the last ondestroy and the next oncreate Jan 22 14:48:44 there is a chance it'll finish executing the tasks when that's happening, but it's very small Jan 22 14:49:16 CallumTaylor: So i should force same orientation on downloading? Jan 22 14:49:26 no Jan 22 14:49:49 it doesn't matter whats happening in doInBackground because thats not running on the UI thread Jan 22 14:50:02 the problem comes when you want to update something on the UI in onPostExecute Jan 22 14:50:34 Hi guys/gals. Could you please help me out with the BOOT_COMPLETED behaviour for android >3.1 ? Do I understand correctly, that in order to receive such event, users must run the app once upon installation? Jan 22 14:51:00 yes Jan 22 14:51:11 My onPostExecute call an interface that being called on the fragment. So the launching of the DialogFragment is from the Fragment Jan 22 14:51:34 can you post your code so we can see what it is you're trying to do Jan 22 14:51:47 will it be delivered upon all reboots thereafter? Jan 22 14:52:09 yes Jan 22 14:52:30 CaptainFarrell: Which of the code? the asynctask, fragment (launch of the DialogFragment)? Jan 22 14:52:45 both Jan 22 14:52:58 CaptainFarrell, yep Jan 22 14:53:07 Unless they force stop it Jan 22 14:53:21 thanks. i was fearing that google decided to kill the whole intent-after-reboot functionality by forcing users to run apps after reboot Jan 22 14:53:41 and now I feel like a moron. Thanks everyone for your clarifications! Jan 22 14:55:22 CaptainFarrell: http://pastebin.com/udZjau88 Jan 22 14:56:44 i have to jump into another meeting so i'll look in a bit Jan 22 15:01:40 CallumTaylor|AFK: Ok, Since I'll maybe slove it or disconnect, Hangout me on yoav.goop@gmail.com if i won't be here Jan 22 15:05:02 Hello, how much bonus memory the command "android::largeHeap = true" give to the application ? Jan 22 15:06:35 macTAR: depends on the device, but don't count on much Jan 22 15:07:22 ok Jan 22 15:14:31 So TRomeo: it seem that including the fragment on the Activity file is the best solution Jan 22 15:14:59 you should make the Fragment a static class then Jan 22 15:15:12 if it's an inner calss it will keep a strong reference to the activity Jan 22 15:16:00 why static? Jan 22 15:19:44 CallumTaylor http://pastebin.com/udZjau88 Jan 22 15:20:43 right so because you're using setRetainInstance, you can have a single reference to the fragment in your async task, but you'll have to check to make sure that the fragment is attached to the activity Jan 22 15:20:55 when calling UploadImageFinished Jan 22 15:21:11 and if its not attached, you'll need to wait for it to get attached before executing the method Jan 22 15:23:51 Using of SystemClock.sleep ( or whatever it is) freeze the ui, So how can i do it without freezing? Jan 22 15:25:36 never sleep on the ui thread Jan 22 15:25:40 wait in the asynctask Jan 22 15:26:10 but how, if i need to check if the fragment is attached? Jan 22 15:26:24 to check that i need to be in the ui thread Jan 22 15:27:13 oh Jan 22 15:27:13 uh Jan 22 15:27:19 well I missed the rest of the conversation Jan 22 15:27:29 XD Jan 22 15:27:32 but maybe you can just stash the result somewhere, and the fragment retrieves it when it gets attached? Jan 22 15:27:39 there should be some onFragmentAttached or something, right? Jan 22 15:27:50 but idk if the orientation changed before or not Jan 22 15:28:16 maybe i can check it on the fragment, and if it not attched, put an boolean to true Jan 22 15:28:22 and check it on onAttached Jan 22 15:28:25 what do you think? Jan 22 15:28:37 yeah, that's what I was going to say, put one bit of state somewhere Jan 22 15:28:51 and then test all the corner cases :p Jan 22 15:29:12 Further testing on the activity naming spec issue yields the folowing even odder results: http://pastebin.com/0877jdcv Jan 22 15:29:43 well, i'll try it durka42 Jan 22 15:30:11 but should it be on OnAttach? Jan 22 15:30:37 or maybe later on the lifecycle Jan 22 15:30:48 <— not an expert on fragment lifecycle Jan 22 15:32:19 I think it should be on 4. onActivityCreated(Bundle) tells the fragment that its activity has completed its own Activity.onCreate(). Jan 22 15:35:47 Hello :) I am playing around with Android and iText. Now I want to code this part of my app [http://pastebin.com/mVf9x0v8] so that it saves foo.bar in the internal storage. What do you suggest? Does it work just by replacing "Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()" with "getFilesDir()"? Also, how can I shorten the code - there are so many convertations, but I don't know how to make it easier :> Thanks Jan 22 15:36:00 durka42: but theoretically, should I open DialogFragment after the Activity OnCreate, or it will be enough to do that after activity attached to an already created fragment? Jan 22 15:43:47 why can't i put environment variables in local.proerties? Jan 22 15:50:29 why would you... Jan 22 15:53:40 you can Jan 22 15:54:33 durka42: I noticed that the onCreate of the Orientation changed happens before the asnctask finished, but getActivity() is still null on the implemented interface on the fragment. Jan 22 15:54:54 what's Orientation, an Activity? Jan 22 15:54:58 what about onResume Jan 22 15:55:55 when the orientation of the device changed, it happens before the asynctask end Jan 22 15:56:09 ugh Jan 22 15:56:15 but getActivity() is null on the implemented interface on the fragment Jan 22 15:56:28 and i can't restart fragmen without activity :( Jan 22 15:57:54 getActivity is null until onAttach Jan 22 15:58:15 do not call container methods in illegal lifecycle states Jan 22 15:58:57 pfn: but if onCreate happend, then onAttach also happend Jan 22 15:59:07 onCreate of what Jan 22 15:59:19 fragment Jan 22 15:59:37 then getActivity is not null Jan 22 15:59:48 but it is null Jan 22 15:59:53 then you're doing something wrong Jan 22 16:00:54 maybe it because if the implemented interface? Jan 22 16:01:04 there is no because Jan 22 16:01:07 your fragment isn't attached Jan 22 16:01:44 I'll try debug onAttach Jan 22 16:03:39 onCreate shouldn't be called on a retained fragment after an orientation change Jan 22 16:04:10 (I assume you're retaining it if you expect to be able to use the same instance after configuration changes Jan 22 16:04:12 ) Jan 22 16:04:16 I removed the setRetainInstance Jan 22 16:05:41 and the onAttach fired before the asynctask finsihed Jan 22 16:05:44 and it null Jan 22 16:05:48 i'll try to save the activity Jan 22 16:06:40 Uhm, if you're not retaining the fragment then it's destroyed along with the activity Jan 22 16:06:51 A new instance will be created Jan 22 16:09:20 I don't really care about that, i want to create a fragmentdialog only XD Jan 22 16:09:24 <_genuser_> geez. how annoyign can google be? Jan 22 16:09:37 <_genuser_> We were unable to verify the account information for your recent purchase with Google Wallet. As a result, your account has been temporarily suspended and your recent order has been cancelled Jan 22 16:09:51 pfn: because in the local.properties is defined where to find the android sdk Jan 22 16:10:04 so it differs from machine to machine Jan 22 16:10:06 <_genuser_> what's to verify? you pay the dev fee and list an app in play store. does google need to know who you are, you child's name, your home address? Jan 22 16:10:12 <_genuser_> anybody seen this before? Jan 22 16:10:30 fancy42, typically, using local.properties isn't very good Jan 22 16:10:36 fancy42, set ANDROID_HOME Jan 22 16:10:42 i did Jan 22 16:10:52 then what's the problem Jan 22 16:11:49 well pfn eventough i set the Activity to a variable on onAttach, it still null on the interface called after the asynctask end Jan 22 16:12:19 and in the debugging it stops on the onAttach before the interface after the asynctask Jan 22 16:12:41 yoavst, you should never set the activity to a variable... Jan 22 16:12:46 yoavst, then it probably got detached Jan 22 16:12:53 before the asynctask Jan 22 16:13:14 well, I'll debug the OnDetach too :( Jan 22 16:13:23 You're keeping a reference to a fragment that is no longer used Jan 22 16:13:42 or you're using the wrong fragment object Jan 22 16:13:45 as simon says Jan 22 16:13:47 You're not retaining it so it's destroyed along with the activity.. When a new activity is created, so is a new fragment Jan 22 16:14:20 You've just verified that onAttach is called on an instance of your fragment.. Not the instance that your asynctask has a reference to Jan 22 16:14:39 oh Jan 22 16:14:51 so i need to setRetainInstance? Jan 22 16:15:22 any reason why ListView.getSelectedItem() would return null when I can clearly see something is selected? Jan 22 16:15:28 pfn: i see. i'm new to ant. i deleted the local.properties, deleted the property from the build xml and it works, because he replaces the missing property with android_home Jan 22 16:16:16 why use ant... Jan 22 16:16:16 SimonVT: it works, thanks :) Jan 22 16:16:31 you have gradle, maven and sbt which all do a much better job Jan 22 16:18:08 BTW - is Adb wifi need drivers? Jan 22 16:18:13 jonc-1, your selectionMode is none Jan 22 16:18:17 yoavst, no Jan 22 16:18:29 so i can run it on every computer? Jan 22 16:22:31 pfn, set to singleChoice, and still null, but thanks Jan 22 16:22:53 btn1.setEnable(isSet); btn2.setEnable(isSet); // btn1 is disabled and btn2 is enabled. how is this even possible ?74 Jan 22 16:23:28 testing on emulator, do not have a device now Jan 22 16:24:28 you're setting it elsewhere Jan 22 16:24:38 nope Jan 22 16:24:54 ah! Jan 22 16:25:11 nope, set in the XML, and only accessed in a fragment which doesn't set it Jan 22 16:25:12 you are right pfm :/ Jan 22 16:26:06 I was setting it also at onServiceConnected Jan 22 16:26:44 I was about to go mad :/ Jan 22 16:26:46 thanks Jan 22 16:27:59 Well, thanks for everbody here for sloving my problem :) Jan 22 16:33:35 jonc-1: selected item isn't for choice mode, you need to use getCheckedItemPosition Jan 22 16:35:05 adb logcat Jan 22 16:35:27 That's twice now in the wrong terminal. Jan 22 16:36:32 Hi all, I'm looking for a iBeacon library for Android. I found this: http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/ibeacon/android/ but want to know if somebody know/has experience with another one? Jan 22 16:36:42 Desarun: Someone did a full git commit once. Not sure why it's funny, but it's funny. Jan 22 16:36:57 Hey guys, following my question up from yesterday, If there is no internet connection, I'd like to send a post request and receive the result in a notification when I'm out of my app and a network connection is available again. So I'm guessing I'd have to register a broadcast receiver to listen to any changes in the network state, when there is, do I need the app to call a service since the app Jan 22 16:36:58 will not be in the foreground? Jan 22 16:37:14 s/and/when Jan 22 16:45:27 when can you know the values (x, y, width , height) of a view inside a Fragment? Jan 22 16:46:26 I would imagine after the view has been inflated Jan 22 16:46:34 after layout Jan 22 16:46:39 you don't know dimensions until layout Jan 22 16:48:09 is there any way to use ellipsize with maxLength Jan 22 16:48:14 On api11+ you can set an OnLayoutChangeListener Jan 22 16:48:28 Pre-11 you need to set a listener on the ViewTreeObserver Jan 22 16:48:43 To get the size of a view Jan 22 16:55:07 Hey guys, following my question up from yesterday, If there is no internet connection, I'd like to send a post request and receive the result in a notification when I'm out of my app and a network connection is available again. So I'm guessing I'd have to register a broadcast receiver to listen to any changes in the network state, when there is, do I need the app to call a service since the app Jan 22 16:55:07 will not be in the foreground? Jan 22 16:56:42 I believe if you make the network call from the broadcast reciever then you don't need a service Jan 22 16:59:29 jonc-1, oh really? Jan 22 17:01:04 not 100% positive, but I believe broadcast receivers can be run when the app is not in the foreground Jan 22 17:02:19 broadcast receivers should take no time to run Jan 22 17:02:25 if they do, you should punt to a service Jan 22 17:02:29 i.e. network calls must be punted Jan 22 17:05:33 pfn, what does punted mean? and so you're saying I cannot make a network call from a broadcast receiver? Jan 22 17:05:39 yes Jan 22 17:05:52 punted == the BR should just start a service to do its work Jan 22 17:06:13 ah I see Jan 22 17:06:27 what happens if I try to make a post request frmo the BR? Jan 22 17:07:04 NetworkOnMainThread Jan 22 17:07:10 I see Jan 22 17:07:18
